Office of Research Development

What Can the ORD Do for You?

The Office of Research Development (ORD) was created in 2007 with the assistance of
a National Institutes of Health Extramural Associates Research Development Award (EARDA).
The ORD promotes and coordinates University-wide research activities and processes
in support of the UIW Mission's dedication to the communication of truth and thoughtful
innovation.

Need time, money, or an extra hand?

The ORD manages several internal awards for faculty including the Faculty Endowment Research Award, Graduate Research Assistant Award,
Workload Reassignment Award, and FSOP Intramural Scientific Research Award. Find the
right award for your needs and apply!

Working with a student researcher who needs support?

The ORD supports student researchers with the Student Research Award, Student Travel Award, and Undergraduate Research
Award.

Planning to work with Human Subjects?

The ORD now serves as administrative support for the Human Subjects Institutional Review Board (IRB). Any research conducted by the UIW community that involves human subjects (or
human subjects' data) must be submitted to and approved by the IRB.

Ready to apply for external funding?

The ORD can assist with funding searches based on your research interests and goals. We can also assist in organizing quality
circle reviews and help prepare proposals.

Have a grant and need support?

The ORD will gladly assist in ensuring your project's success! We can: interpret compliance
and reporting requirements, collaborate with University units to provide support,
track implementation progress of extramural research projects, and help fulfill additional
project needs.

Need to develop analytical tools or interpret data?

The ORD's Senior Research Statistician works in support of faculty and student research projects and can assist with quantitative
research design and analysis of statistical data.
